I want to uninstall Sigil from an old machine I have (I was never able to run it there, "illegal instruction, core dumped" issue) but, when I proceed with the "sudo make uninstall" I have this as an answer:

What to do here? Do I have to remove the files manually?

How did you install?
Which version?
The old version the uninstall command had a dot slash that was needed (and did not use make)

I downloaded the source, and installed manually (configure, sudo make install), as per the INSTALL.txt instructions (although, I had my doubts at the beginning):

Aside from the core Qt libraries, you will also need to install *libqt4-xml*,
*libqt4-svg*, *libqt4-webkit* and *libqt4-dev* (and their various dependencies)
which are not included by default in Qt.

This should be as simple as typing in the following command into your
terminal (on Debian-like systems):
{{{
sudo apt-get install libqt4-gui libqt4-svg libqt4-webkit libqt4-xml libqt4-dev
}}}
It is assumed you want to generate Makefiles. You can do this by creating
a new folder *outside* of the source distribution.

Now navigate to that folder with a terminal. Then type in and run
the following:
{{{
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release /path/to/extracted/folder
make
sudo make install
}}}
That builds and installs Sigil on Linux. By default, Sigil is installed
in `${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin`, with `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` defaulting to
`usr/local`.

You can change the install location by running cmake like this:
{{{
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/new/install/prefix -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release /path/to/extracted/folder
}}}
Aside from using the install target, you can also build a binary
installer by invoking the `makeinstaller` build target.

Building from source in the repository is recommended, since code in the
repository should always be stable. If it's not, that's a bug report.

I forgot to mention that there might be some configuration files floating around in your home directory in the usual--normally hidden--places like '.local' or '.conf'. If the folder name isn't 'Sigil' it may be named after the original creator of the program (with older versions): 'Markovic Strahinja'.
